Not much is known about the bomber himself; 28-year-old Sergei Danilov is from Elista. I was engaged in one-time repairs of office equipment and setting up the Internet. He lived in a private house and led a hidden lifestyle: he did not maintain accounts on social networks, and did not make friends with anyone. It is known that Sergei Danilov was registered with the republican PND with a diagnosis of schizophrenia; he had a split personality. His elderly grandmother lives in Elista, but he did not maintain a relationship with her. In 2019, the bomber’s mother died. The father is registered in Kalmykia, but actually lives in the Rostov region.
Yesterday, February 10th, Sergey Danilov called a taxi through an aggregator and deliberately went to the address of the Center for Psychological Assistance (LLC). There he committed a self-detonation. During the inspection of the scene of the incident, experts came to the conclusion that the guest had brought a real suicide bomber belt and deliberately went to his death. His body was torn in half. Judging by the fragments found, the IED was set off using an electric detonator, the wire from which was passed through the demolition man’s trouser leg into his boot and to his toes. The on-site test did not show what kind of explosive the belt was filled with. Several pellets were also found at the site, but it is premature to talk about the presence of destructive elements in the bomb.
The bomber died on the spot, and a married couple was hospitalized in serious condition: a psychologist and her husband. Before consciousness left the victim, she managed to report in the ambulance that Sergei Danilov had previously turned to her for psychological help, showed her signs of attention, but was rejected. According to the main version, the bomber was hatching plans and preparing to take revenge on the offender. Both witnesses are in intensive care, but doctors give positive prognoses.
After what happened, security forces descended on Sergei Danilov’s address. Three employees of the Russian Guard were the first to enter the house before the search and an explosion occurred inside. Initially, the fighters reported that a trip wire had been installed in the home, but experts rejected this version based on the nature of the damage. The fact is that the injured security forces were wearing special ammunition, but despite this, one lost a leg, another an eye, and the third received a concussion and multiple shrapnel wounds. In addition, acetone and powder were spilled throughout the house on the floors and surfaces.
Already in the morning, when the sappers and explosives technicians were replaced by a robot, it was possible to identify traces of an extremely dangerous and unstable explosive, which is not used for military purposes. We are talking about acitone triperoxide, or “kissy” in slang. Theoretically, all components for this explosive are sold in the public domain. Using cameras installed on the robot, the intelligence services established that the same traps were installed in a bottle in the room where Sergei Danilov apparently worked and there was almost the only clue to the solution – the demolition computer (remember, no manifestos, messages or diaries were found was), and also in a saucepan in the kitchen. In a word, any careless movement and the whole house could fly up into the air, so the intelligence services are still inclined to believe that it will not be possible to clear the house of mines and that they will have to stage an explosion.
